Woburn Abbey Teddy Bear Festival

Hello,We are just back from the Woburn Abbey Teddy Bear Festival and as promised a few photos.

STUFFING SHIFTED

APOLLO

Our stand was in the sculpture gallery near the Apollo statue

who had many admiring glances! (blush!)

We had a very enjoyable day chatting to collectors some of which we remember from way back.
We would like to say Thank you to everyone who came to our stand. Some told us they already had a bears of ours in their collection and how they much they still love owning them.

We did not preview our bears before the show as we thought this would not be fair

to collectors that had made a whole weekend of the event and travelled long distances.
You can find lots more pictures on face book of the whole event.

So here are some of the bears and characters that came with us
these are available now to our mailing list.
Please let me know by email if you wish to adopt any or need more details.
Thanks & Warmest Wishes Paula
